Successful applicants were notified from February 2018 onwards, with returned or declined tickets continually re-balloted until the tournament’s starts. It is no longer possible to enter the ballot if you haven’t already done so.

But if you have entered and haven’t heard back yet – don’t despair! There is still time.

By queuing early in the morning you can still get tickets not only for the grounds at Wimbledon but also for Centre Court, Court No 1 and Court No 2. Wimbledon advise that you get there a few hours before the grounds open, while camping the night before is probably your best bet if you want to get a show court ticket. When you arrive in the queue, you are given a Queue Card, which shows the date and your position in the queue. It is strictly one ticket per person queuing.

At 6am, stewards will rouse you tidy up your belongings, and those at the front – who are queuing for the show courts – are given wristbands at 7:30am, in direct correlation with the tickets available. The grounds open at 10:30am.

You will need to get there very early to make sure you don’t miss out as there are only a finite number of tickets available on a given day, and there are none available for the show courts on the last four days of the championships.

There are however several thousand ground passes available which entitle you to unreserved seating and standing room on Court No.s 3-18

Debentures and other ways to obtain tickets

Tickets have also been allocated elsewhere.

There are 2,500 debenture seats on Centre Court and 1,000 on Court No 1. These are long-term investment seats that help fund the All England Club. They are slightly more expensive, but they are available to buy during the tournament, and they are, unlike other tickets, 100% transferable. Here is some more information on debentures.

Some more tickets might come through membership of the LTA. They have allocated tickets to Schools Tennis, British Tennis Membership and to overseas tennis federations/associations. Find out more here.

Tickets have also been allocated to Newmarket Holidays, who offer a number of different packages.

Ticket re-sale

Wimbledon have introduced a number of ‘anti-tout’ measures to minimise illegal ticket sales.

Fundamentally, any tickets not sold either by the All England Club or by one of its licensed agents will be invalid. So if you purchase them from an unofficial source, you could be declined entry.

Tickets which are no longer needed are made available for resale from the Ticket Resale Kiosk, with unwanted tickets put in special red boxes. The money raised from this is given to charity. In 2017, a total of £173,212 was raised by the Ticket Resale scheme. The proceeds were distributed to charity via the Wimbledon Foundation’s grant programmes.

More Information

Further enquiries can made to the Ticket Office, including information about the Public Ballot. The Ticket Office does not sell or reserve tickets over the telephone.
